Chapter 9: My Real Name

After that, Emmanuel took a deep breath. These scenes... are nothing to him right now. Even as a slave he saw his fellow slaves get raped and killed in the most gruesome ways.

He saw the people who was once his subordinates after betraying him was in a far more worse state after being tortured by the interrogators of his family. One of his adopted children even tried to teach him how to torture people.

His terrifyingly cold eyes reverted to normal. A transformation he learned to control like an on and off switch in the other world. He now just looked like a harmless cute child right now if you exclude the blood all over his clothes.

"System, I believe I installed a cleaning function and deleting function even in the initial stages of storage system."

[That is correct, my Lord but it only works when the items needed to be cleaned or eliminated is inside the storage itself. Since you have killed an adult human. Your storage increased from 0>2. You have two available space boxes right now.]

Emmanuel sat first on the ground since his body couldn't take it any longer.

"Whew... That was an intense exercise for this young body. System, put the dead body inside and delete it. Leave no traces on the ground. Take even the blood that flowed on the ground. "

The body disappeared with all the blood splashed onto the ground.

[The dead body is completely eliminated.]

"Put all my clothes inside and clean them for me. After cleaning them, return them to me."

Emmanuel's clothes disappeared from him, leaving him naked on the ground of the forest. It's good that the leaves and grass here are soft.

[Cleaning finished. Returning. I hope the system's cleaning is satisfactory for you, my Lord.]

The clothes were returned again to Emmanuel. Now clean and looked like brand new. The clothes even felt like it was ironed.

"It's fine. It's really clean. I tend to overlook the cleaning function back then but now that I think about it, my weapons, items, worlds, armors, artifacts, clothes and other things inside were always clean because of this function."

"System, store the 2 bags of money inside of the space."

[Ding! Stored successfully. Space capacity reached. No more available space to use. Please enhance the system more with life energy to get more space.]

"I could probably start a laundry shop using the cash and the system's cleaning function. I could probably save more money by not using electricity for the washing machine, not using water and not buying powdered soap for laundry. This could be my retirement plan."

Emmanuel looked at his youthful hands again and thought... "Retirement plan...I'm 10 years old... Why Am I thinking that way... I may have returned to my young body again but my mind is still that of an old wild man who just wants to retire and live a peaceful comfortable life."

"It's not like I can just kill every criminal here and of course I won't go looking for any trouble if trouble doesn't come my way. With this 2 space inside the storage system and it's ability to clean and eliminate, a laundry shop is not so bad really." Emmanuel was thinking that he already lived a long life. It's not like he wanted to become immortal. He just wanted to return to his old world and live an uneventful life.

He experienced enough excitement worth one life there. He hoped that in this life, he might lived peacefully. Maybe even build a family again and have blood-related sons and daughters this time instead of adopted slaves.

It's good slavery is not a thing in this world... Well not at least slavery like those in the other world. Slavery still exist here for sure. People who are slave to thwor own work, to their bosses and to their families.

Well, on the other hand. I think there's a job in this world too that can help me kill living beings and upgrade the systems storage while being a legal member of the society.

Maybe I can focus on that Job first before the laundry shop idea.

"I still know a set of exercise that can strengthen my body. It should work here since the body of mine here and the body that was transported there started with the same body. I'll start early and young this time so I might get a stronger body in this life."

Emmanuel remembered the name of this exercise. "Dragon's Body Strengthening Manual." A rare and exclusive manual for purely strengthening your body until you reach the strength a fully matured dragon...but... Emmanuel also remembered that space magic is no longer available to him so he couldn't isolate time to freeze his cells. He couldn't stick with with that.

Hmmm... How about that "Blood Vitality Manual." It was written by a Legendary Half-Vampire back in other world. He found this manual by a group of noble vampires who tried to take over his family's business by killing me through blood poison. In the end though, they didn't succeed and I got their family's heirloom which is this manual.

The manual was basically made since their half-vampire ancestor hadn't received both the blood sucking ability of a vampire and eternal life of a vampire. A poor pitiful half-vampire indeed but instead of giving up, he spent his limited lifespan creating the "Blood Vitality Manual." The blood vitality manual used ancient languages, an ancient magic circle and a drop of your blood. There's also the need for a lot of blood. It could be any kind of blood. It just needs to be blood that is at least a day fresh and the amount should be at least enough to fill a lake. Once the ancient language is chanted, the user's blood is dropped into the circle. The magic circle will then be activated and will absorb extremely large amounts of blood. The more blood there is, the more chances of a success. After that you will be able to manipulate and absorb blood on your own to enhanced your body and increase your lifespan permanently.

It was troublesome thing to do for the noble vampires because they needed extreme large amounts of fresh blood so they needed to kill to get those blood on the same day of the ritual so it usually fails either the blood isn't enough, the blood isn't fresh enough or because other forces tries to stop the vampires from their massacre.

"That's their problem though. I have the storage system where no time flows keeping the blood fresh. Although the amount is still problematic, it is connected to my plan on how to upgrade the system."

A job like that would be very convenient for him but very suspicious or weird by letting a 10 year old do that kind of job. Butchering. Being a butcher is both bloody and an occupation that kills animals. A perfect job for Emmanuel right now.

'Oh! then when I have enough storage space...maybe I can start a delivery too? ...Hmmm."

Emmanuel was excited by the idea of doing simple and beneficial jobs in this world. He had enough of fighting and major life and death problems in the other world.

"It would be nice if it could really be peaceful." Emmanuel thought. Emmanuel desired it.

...

Emmanuel walked back and sat on the same tree where he usually sits back before he was transported to another world. He was resting his body since it still ached from using the illusion arts without enough flexibility and strength of a body.

He was thinking of how his plans would work out when he heard a familiar voice calling. A familiar voice that had maybe changed in his mind during all those years.

"Jazon! Jazon! Where are you! It's time to return!"

"Brother Tom?" Emmanuel was surprised. Is there also another kid missing besides me?

"Tom, Is this really where Jazon went? We've been looking for sometime now." Another familiar voice but this time it belonged to a female.

"That's sister Rea, right?" Emmanuel got up even if his body was still tired and walked slowly to the voices calling for a kid's name he didn't know.

He stated to walking but his vision got blurry. His body couldn't keep up with all that happened. He was going to faint.

"Brother Tom! Sister Rea!" Emmanuel shouted with all his might.

"Look Tom, I think Jazon's over there!" Rea said.

'Jazon... I'm not Jazon... Am I?' Emmanuel thought.

At the first place Emmanuel was the name he invented himself for his new life because after living as slave for 20 years at 10 years old, he already forgot his name due to the trauma.

Two people appeared in his vision that is both blurring and darkening. He is about to faint.

"JAZON!" The two of them shouted.

'Finally, my real name. Jazon huh.' It was the last sentence Emmanuel... no... Jazon, thought of before fainting.
